Nice. For me, sounds are a big part of city life. Paris, for instance, is ever linked in my head with the high-pitched whine of mo-peds and motor scooters. And a car horn echoing between buildings from a few blocks away (usually, downtown in Chicago—or anywhere in New York) is actually a “welcome home” sound for me.

Nicely said, Terry. I personally could do with a bit less urban noise on most days, but there’s just something about that park down under the Manhattan Bridge that feels like home to me, noise and all.
